Q&A

I didn't apply enough DWR treatment to my jacket, can I just add more?

I went and applied grangers DWR treatment to my waterproof cycling jacket and put it in the dryer for a few minutes to set it. After my first couple rides, it appears there are a few small spots where it is wetting out immediately.

Can I simply wet the jacket and apply more DWR? Should I dry it in the dryer again? Or do I need to wash and re-proof?

I believe that I would try one or two inconspicuous spots where it appears to be wetting the exterior. Those spots may be resistant to your treatment for some reason. Try a spray waterproofing locally on those. The different formulation may penetrate better. If it doesn't work, you haven't ruined the jacket. You can always use the spray on boots or something.
